IDU_Showcase18_140x180_EN 25.05.18 1:19 Stránka71 2 SHOWCASE is the way how the youngest talented generation of Czech artists performing classical music has been introduced. Czech conservatories and art universities nominated young artists, out of which the jury selected 22 young interprets and singers, who present what they consider the best of their repertoire in short 15-minute performances. The showcase intended for the professionals is open to everybody interested in the way how good the emerging Czech art generation is. The Arts and Theatre Institute has organized it for the second time as an accompanying event of the Leoš Janáček International Music Festival in cooperation with the Janáček Conservatory in Ostrava. As far as the nature of the Showcase is concerned, we kindly ask you to respect the silence when you come and leave. str.

  • An Overview of Bohuslav Martinů‟S Piano Style with a Guide to Analysis and Interpretation of the Fantasie Et Toccata, H
    An Overview of Bohuslav Martinů‟s Piano Style with a Guide to Analysis and Interpretation of the Fantasie et Toccata, H. 281 by Jennifer Crane-Waleczek A Research Paper Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts Approved November 2011 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Robert Hamilton, Chair Andrew Campbell Glenn Hackbarth Kay Norton Janice Meyer Thompson ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY December 2011 ABSTRACT Bohuslav Martinů (1890-1959) was a prolific composer who wrote nearly 100 works for piano. His highly imaginative and eclectic style blends elements of the Baroque, Impressionism, Twentieth-century idioms and Czech folk music. His music is fresh and appealing to the listener, yet it remains intriguing as to how all the elements are combined in a cohesive manner. Martinů himself provides clues to his compositional process. He believed in pure musical expression and the intensity of the musical idea, without the need for extra-musical or programmatic connotations. He espoused holistic and organic views toward musical perception and composition, at times referring to a work as an “organism.” This study examines Martinů‟s piano style in light of his many diverse influences and personal philosophy. The first portion of this paper discusses Martinů‟s overall style through several piano miniatures written throughout his career. It takes into consideration the composer‟s personal background, musical influences and aesthetic convictions. The second portion focuses specifically on Martinů‟s first large-scale work for piano, the Fantasie et Toccata, H. 281. Written during a time in which Martinů was black-listed by the Nazis and forced to flee Europe, this piece bears witness to the chaotic events of WWII through its complexity and intensity of character.

  • Czech Music 2008
    czech music quarterly Milan Škampa Vítězslava Kaprálová Martinů’s Memorial To Lidice 3 | 2 0 0 8 2 0 8 | 3 Dear Readers, I must confess that when thinking about themes for each new issue of Czech Music Quarterly, I try to avoid anniversaries. I’m not quite sure why, but I always have the feeling that running articles just on the basis that it’s been exactly a hundred years from the death of this or that composer, or fifty years from the founding of this or that festival, is rather meretricious. Why should the calendar decide which people we should be appreciating or what is specially interesting? Doesn’t it somehow suggest that we only bother to remember a person or event when the alarm clock rings? And alarm clocks are not, after all, among the more beautiful things in life. The problem is that the whole surrounding world of concert organisation, music publishing and magazines about music are very keen on anniversaries (the ringing of the alarm clock is something hard to ignore, and so it does part of the marketing for you – the attitude is understandable). And it would be rather solipsistic (and Quixotic) to try to resist the trend come what may, at any price and all the time. What is to be done? I’m offering a compromise solution here… This year in August 49 years had passed since the death of Bohuslav Martinů. If you find this a good enough reason for reading one historical study of one important piece by this composer, one article about a project designed to celebrate the “real” Bohuslav Martinů anniversaries in 2009–10, and one feature on a Czech woman composer who played some role in Martinů’s life (and he in hers), please read on.
